10 Cute Back To School Outfits That Are Perfect For The Fall

Not sure what to wear now that summer’s over? Luckily, we can provide you with some inspiration with these 10 cute back to school outfits that are perfect for the fall! 

1. Wear an oversized denim jacket

For this back to school outfit, you can effortlessly keep warm by layering up under an oversized denim jacket. Many have searched high and low for thrifted jean jackets, but if your local thrift store is out of stock, save up and shop at Levi’s for their classic trucker jacket. For extra warmth, the jacket also comes in another version with an inner layer of sherpa, a soft and warm addition.

2. Keep it classy with a plaid blazer

Plaid is definitely the go-to pattern for back to school! It’s classy, put-together, and screams classic academia. The blazer definitely dresses up the look, which would otherwise be considered casual especially since the denim skirt is distressed at the bottom. For those transition days from summer to fall, you can dress appropriately for the weather by keeping cool in a mini skirt while also keeping warm with stockings and the staple plaid blazer.

For a more casual look, pair with your favorite sneakers like in the featured outfit below, or to keep it dressy, pair with your favorite fall ankle boots. Just make sure you’re comfortable enough to walk around campus!

Vests are trendy during the fall for back to school, especially when it’s getting chilly. When wearing a puffy vest, it’s important to keep the layers simple. This casual and outdoorsy look is also perfect for rainy days, since you can sub the long-sleeve for a thin hoodie underneath the plain black vest.

8. Pair jumper skirts with sweaters

This cute outfit is amazing for the first day back to school if you really want to make an impression. The plaid jumper skirt balances out the chunkiness of the sweater and as mentioned previously, plaid is the epitome of academia. If it’s too warm of an outfit for the first day, you can always wear the jumper skirt with a thinner sweater or long sleeve.

It may not be Wednesday, but we are definitely wearing pink for back to school. Corduroy is a staple material in fall season attire and comes in many different colors which is why it’s so versatile. This pink corduroy jacket adds a pop of color to what would have been a really basic outfit.
